I love walking to the mailbox each day...out here in the absence of civilization I take a moment to stare across the corn fields, throw a stick for the dogs, listen to the sounds of the countryside...
and when a special surprise package like this one from a sweet carolyn greets me, I run-not-stroll back into the house, anxious to open up and discover what's inside...oh wow what a treat I was greeted with this time...
announcement for today is that i put a few of those [labor intensive!] bingo card journals in my etsy shoppe this morning...absolutely love how they turned out (not too soon to be thinking of holiday gifts)...
[SPECIAL NOTE RE: THE BINGO JOURNALS...they are already gone and I've gotten lots of emails and comments so will do my very-busy best to make some more...thank you all so much!]
...and speaking of the holidays, thought it would be fun over the next couple of months to give you some Silver Bella sneak peeks from the vendor wares and classes that I'll be bringing to Omaha...here's the first...
enjoy this day!
it is always a delight when the mailman pulls in the drive way & knocks on my side door to hand me a package too large for the mailbox!
what fun!
look forward to seeing your silver bella kits...hope you share with those of us unfortunate souls who can't attend!!

Mail packages are so fun, especially when they're a surprise, huh? Carolyn sounds super sweet. :)
That silver bella sneak peak looks awesome... I'm loving that paper! :)

Wonderful Bingo journals! Definitely want to be doing some early Christmas shopping... but when I went to your etsy shop, they weren't there :-(... maybe a technology glitch?

Wow! I've been checking your Etsy shop ever since you posted with your journal give away. I was so excited when I saw your post today about having some available. Well, they are gone! Someone did some quick shopping! I peaked around in the "sold" items and they looked wonderful. You do incredible work.

I really wanted one of your Bingo journals but they are already gone! I hope you will make more and I get one next time! Those sure were georgous!!

There's something about getting a special letter or package in the mail that makes me feel like a giddy girl. Enjoy!

I, too, checked your etsy shop as soon as I saw your post...early in the morning. To my dismay, they were gone! Like hot cakes!
Hope I have better luck next time...have a wonderful day!

Only recently discovered your blog space and totally blown away with the wonderful creativity you freely share with everyone.
That St Francis prayer is one of my favourites. Such a great idea to set up a gallery to share the words that inspire.

Wow, they went fast. I was hoping to be able to get one...your work is so fun and simply amazing! Any chance there will be more? Maybe instructions and supply list? Maybe a kit? Thanks again for the inspiration!

Now THAT'S the sort of package I love to find in my mailbox as well!! I can't wait to see your Silver Bella sneak peeks or better yet, see them in person. :-)

Oh, you are sneaky. What an etsy bitsy snippet! I'm enrolled in the Life/collage, and I am excited beyond words. Can't wait. Carol

the goodies you received in the mail are delightful what a wonderful surprise.

They are so beautiful.
